Krka won both head-to-heads three season ago, Cibona won both 2 seasons ago, Krka won both last season, and now it's time for Cibona.
All kidding aside, this is just a game of numbers. We will go for Cibona here for completely different reasons. Spahija is gone from the bench, which is never a bad option in this moment, as he didn't seem to know what he wanted and what his team was supposed to play. Realistically speaking, Strawberry is the best player of this team, and he's been a shadow of himself from last season. According to the information we have, the players responded positively to his sack, any departure of American players is out of the question, and these players seemed really motivated and in the game on the last few training sessions. The new man on the bench, Slaven Rimac, himself a player until recently, has great relations with the players but his role won't be so important here. Cibona have much more quality than Krka and this Krka managed to lose against Zadar. An injury to their first-team point guard puts them in a solid handicap and all Cibona have to do is play brutal defense on Edi Murič, which is something Marin Rozić is very capable of. Žižić will be hard to defend against and Strawberry will have a better game, and Blassingame too, I believe. Along with the standard contribution from Šarić, this should be enough for another win from Slovenia (the first one being against Olimpija).
